Travel Tips

Transit basics

Figure out the best route to get to your destination (We recommend the Travel Planner)

Plan to arrive a few minutes early to allow for variations in the bus schedules

Make sure you have the full, exact fare
» Our fare boxes cannot give back change. Keep in mind that your PRESTO purchases may take a few hours to load onto the card readers so you might want to load up in advance

Make sure any carry-on items you want to bring on board are safe for public vehicles

Leave your pets at home. Only registered service animals will be allowed on the transit system

Make sure you are suitably dressed to board our vehicles: shoes and a shirt are required on buses and the O-Train

Security tips

We recognize that victims of crime are not responsible for the offences committed against them. We offer these tips as additional precautions you can take to increase your sense of security on transit.

Work out the safest path to reach your destination: take into account walking distance and choose busier streets over isolated areas

Let someone know where you’re going, how you’re traveling and when you expect to reach your destination

Use the station maps to find out where the emergency call boxes and payphones are
